| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- And it's finally back, one of the most hyped anime of this year! Lol now that the secret is no longer a secret they sure didn't hold back putting gruesome scenes in the OP, thou the song wasn't as good as the first OP. The children are outside but they are not safe there ofc. This is a totally new territory for them but good thing they have Minerva's help cause that sure is helping them a lot. Ofc they also have persuers after them. Damn the first episode and it already gave me chills. But a girl appeared to show them a safe path but turns out she's a demon? Wow is she gonna eat them now? Thou the best part of this episode was definitely Ray swearing that he'll survive and protect them this time. as @KANLen09 mentioned Episode was streamed early on Funimation, Hulu and Amazon Prime JP: https://twitter.com/yakuneba_staff/status/1346411192131092481 https://neverland-animeusa.com/news/?id=55923 |

| Man, the opening gave me goosebumps And finally they all came out of Grace Field House, even so they still met lots of monsters out there The female monster is very nice person, she helps Emma and the others, okay, the first episode was Cliffhanger The ending is pretty good! |

Pretty good OST to set up for the future of the escapees: Emma, Ray and the children of Grace Field House. Into the woods, and a new life for everyone in the Promised Forest. Trying to navigate their way through Morse code (the owl symbol that is prevalent on all books in the House) with Ray is easy enough, but for the children, only uncertainties abound, and that's where Emma and the grown-ups Gilda and Don keep the young ones safe going to find their next contact: Mr. William Minerva @ B06-32. The monsters demon pursuers really do want to eat children (Food! Glorious food!), and Ray is good at it. The moment he was saved at the very last-minute by a veiled man horse rider gave me Ghost Rider vibes, and a veiled woman shows her face (who could she be in their time of aid?) to everyone's rescued safety. So turns out that both are related to one another, and demons at that (Sonju and someone else). What is their real intention? Fast pacing (7 chapters), but IMO it's already written on the wall that Season 2 will end on an original ending note with 11 episodes. |

| The new OP song is pretty good imo, just as catchier as the previous season's. As expected, we see Ray's clever thinking at work already. The kids also realize the important book and Minerva's connection with it. Pretty crazy how they get chased by a huge monster already. I like how Emma tells the others to think it like a game of tag. The outside world is no joke. This season should be about survival and it's up to the kids to make the best of their circumstances. Can't wait for more tbh. Season 2 also confirmed for 11 episodes today. This should be fun. |

| Wait why is it out on 6/1 shouldn't it be 8/1 ? |

| The kids are finally at the outside world, though the outside world isn’t as peaceful as they expected it to be. I don’t know how Rei outran those monsters. Both Ray and Emma have fever from cutting their ears. The animation was good, the big spider’s cgi was alright. I loved the op and the ed. |

| This was an early surprise, was a pretty nice introduction episode though. |
 |
| Dope opening and entertaining start. I don't have high expectations for this arc, but perhaps I will be able to appreciate it more after experiencing it again animated. |

"Freedom is so beautiful, yet so cruel" I can't help but think about aot lol. Honestly not too hyped about this arc but they made it good and interesting actually and the ED is really good I love how they used the manga's art style. Anyways we finally get to see Sonju and  I'm simping for demons. CGI demon was okay but it looked really bad in some scenes. The camerawork was top notch though. is it just me or did this feel longer than 22 minutes?? lol. good episode overall! |

| Holy shit so much new shit in that pilot,it felt like a Made in Abyss episode i love it ! This season might be less explosive than i was thinking seeing the final part of the ep. |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| The OP gave me goosebumps and the ED was very nice I think it was good for a first episode, excited for next episodes I missed Ray |
| This was very enjoying, how are some people not liking it? First episode was fantastic, as always, camerawork is excellent. I love how the camera is almost all the time at a ground level which creates tension, TPN is known for this. This episode was amazing. "Freedom is so beautiful... yet so cruel" Eren would like to have a talk with Emma. And the opening is good, BUT the ending is just amazing, I can already feel it, it'll be a contender for one of the best ED of this season. |
 I said keep your hands on the table |
| Exactly! That's what I thought 😂😂😂 |
|
dompsterfire said: Exactly! That's what I thought 😂😂😂 Imagine those two talking about freedom, Emma is smart enough to keep up with him, Eren will have a fun time explaining freedom just like Hange when she talks about titans. It'll be a wonderful conversation. |
I said keep your hands on the table |
| Can't believe 2 years passed since season 1. Good to see the beloved characters back on screen. Didn't really like the CGI demon... though it's not abysmal. Liked ED more than OP. |
| Huh, was surprised to see new ep out already, and damn, that was a spooky opening for sure. Along with that cliffhanger too. Oof. |
| OP song and visuals were meh. brightness was definitely up for this episode. So they managed to escape the farm, just barely. Mysterious man and woman come to both ray and the rest of the kids' rescue. But they're demons... |
 |
| Opening wasn't as catchy as I hoped it would be, but the visuals make up for it. Animation was great in some moments (coughRaycough). CGI was eh. Ending was 10/10 doe. |
| Just last week rewatched the whole first season in one day w my anime club to refresh/introduce it to newbies but god i can already tell how much Cloverworks has improved in 2 years. The OP/ED has some really great visuals, but not immediate bangers. 11 episodes is short for a series so highly anticipated, but all is forgiven if they can announce a continuation soon |
| dang, I really wanna know whether the demons that saved them are friend or foe but i guess we'll have to wait a week. |
| clannad is the greatest piece of fiction to ever exist. |
| It reminds me of mushishi, I think it's good. If you're anime only, |

| What a fucking cliffhanger! Episode 1 and my heart is already pounding like mad... gonna be a good season! Ray feels completely different this season already; he has a dedication and almost fatherly feel that he didn't have before. You can see that he's more invested in the group and I think it'll give him some incredible character development. |
 |
| Man this show did not take long to remind me why it did so well back in 2019. Welcome back Promised Neverland!! The opening sent shivers down my spine and so did the whole episode, compelling! The music and scenery were magnificent! They used a cliffhanger on the first episode xD, guess I'll be looking forward to the next episode :) Good episode :) |
 |
| So, ummm, I sorta forgot, why isn't Norman with them again? |
 |
| Pretty good episode. This was one of the shows in 2021 that I'd most looked forward to seeing along with Attack on Titan, and so far it's delivered. Some slight nit-picks with the CGI demons but nothing major. Otherwise a banging OP, well-paced episode and a good cliffhanger to end the episode on. 4/5 |
| The escape for survival continues with three new characters introduced. Could the prepared dinner be refered as the other children? Or are the demons simply aiding them? |

| What a perfect start to season 2, but damn the cliffhanger to this episode is getting me all excited for next week! I personally think that this seasons OP is a bit more catchier than season 1. |

Punkero said: Dayum bro, weird you're continuing this series without that info but ok.So, ummm, I sorta forgot, why isn't Norman with them again? check the FIRST spoiler ONLY: https://myanimelist.net/character/144916/Norman |
 |
| The ep started off slow and ended with a cliffhanger, seems like the the same with season 1's first ep. I see more mysteries coming and info for the demons and the outside world. Ray was great this ep, Emma and Ray hug at the end was beautiful, a solid proof of care for each other. |
 |
| Loved the op and a great first ep. That game of tag and Ray almost getting caught gave me so much anxiety, can't wait to see what those 'demons' have in store for the kids!! |
| Alright ladies and gentlemen, The Promised Neverland 2nd Season has begun. It is my #199 entry, it was alright considering Re:Zero 2 pt.2 will be my #200. I did not expect the anime will start at this point. From what I remember, the manga picked off differently from what happened this episode or is it really intentional for CloverWorks to do so. Anyways that new OP surely didn't catched on to me, although the creepy visuals let me be interested on it. And the ED was fine as well, courtesy of an Eve-backed song and musician. Our children has finally escaped the Orphanage and is now at the "Outside World". Things are not going to be easy as they are now pursued by the Demons and strange monsters also roam in the forests. I love the sound of the hologram, sounds futuristic. And it seems like the dynamic of Emma and Ray has not gone away, although the kids sure missed Norman. After some tense chases, Ray and Emma are saved by unknown hooded persons. Later knowing that they're actually demons! What's their motives and what they plan to do with the children? Too bad CLIFFHANGER is already here tormenting us, that's unfortunate. Well this is not an impressive start to say the least. There is some bad CGI here and the art looks just a bit downgraded in my opinion. Hope the show picks up cause I am not giving this first episode a 10/10. |
 |
| MAL won't let me mark it as watching cuz it "hasn't aired yet". wth |
 |
| 2 years ago when this show first aired, I was so excited for this anime since it was adapting my favorite arc of one of my favorite manga of all time back then and I had the anime at a 10/10, even after rewatching it recently. And now in the current times in 2021, it's back with Season 2 but in a time when the manga is fully complete and it crashed and burned. Still though, given the rewatch of the first season being amazing and the fact of the manga content not declining hard till later on, I went into this with some excitement, same way I feel about the anime adaptation of Beastars 2nd season. Overall, this episode was good. The art is a bit downgraded from the first season, especially the CGI which looked really good surprisingly in season 1 and about average in season 2 but not terrible, but the content is still very good. The series shifts from a more psychological thriller tone of mind games, to more of a mystery, survival tone with the kids trying to find Minerva and adapt to a whole new world outside where they don't have the privilege of being served great food or live in a loving orphanage with a mother to take care of all of them. The tone was still tense, the music was still on point and the characters still had that charm about them that I enjoyed in the first season. Intense cliffhanger too to wrap up the episode. The opening was good for me. The song might not have the same hype factor as the first one, but it's a nice song nonetheless and I'm very sure this will have a better full version than the UVERworld one. Loved the visual metaphors used for a lot of the frames. The ending song too was class, although I really missed the ending song of the previous scene a lot. |
| Eh they cut quite a lot to get to the demon duo so fast but I can assure nothing of value was lost. Liking the pacing so far. |
